Wasted all day trying to fix my PC. Finally I gave up and ordered a Dell instead.
Windows started okay but it froze after about 5 minutes. I reloaded Windows XP but lost the mouse, keyboard co-processor, a bus and network connection. Istruggled for 45 minutes and loaded a wireless network connection but still couldn’t get online.
I then backed up all my files and set up my $300 Eee PC to check emails and get on the Internet.
I also orderd the new Windows Office to replace my 2001 XP Office I got from UT.
The Dell computers we purchased to replaced some of our 7-year old computers have arrived. It comes with Windows 7 and Windows XP downgrade.
It is going to take a few days to configured the computers to our liking so we can increased our productivity. Not sure if we’re going to use Windows 7 right away due to some ancient software we are still using.
By the way, we are finally going to get Office 2007. Well, Office 2010 is just around the corner. More spending in this economy, but hey, we are contributing to the recovery. We’re still not sure if we are going to need Outlook (2007) anymore since we have moved the email system to a less Microsoft-centric one. Anyway it’s still going to cost us a cosiderable amount of our IT budget for the softwares.
Currently the pricing for Microsoft Office 2007 Standard Edition is over $300 at Amazon.com. Where can we get it cheaper? Any ideas?
Having trouble finding which driver you need to install for SATA on the Dell Optiplex 780? Yeah me too. So after much trouble and lack of documentation on Dell’s website I figured I’d post it here after finding it on a Russian web site. For the record I was installing XP Pro 32-bit (for work). Had this PC not been a ‘test’ PC it would be running Windows 7.
And yes I put in the freakin’ service tag at Dell’s website.
In the BIOS it comes by default set to ATA instead of AHCI.
You need to install the Intel ICH10D driver.
With the proper SATA driver installed you can reboot and change it to AHCI and it will boot. Without the proper driver and set to AHCI the box will simply blue-screen and constantly reboot until you switch it back to ATA or throw it on the ground.

The Dell (s dell) Mini 10 netbook is a very nice specimen, as witnessed by Kevin’s video below. It has just about everything a netbook user could want and then some, given word that WiMAX is now an option. The new option is unlocked, so it can be used with either Sprint (s s) or Clear in the U.S., giving up to 10 Mbps performance. The option is $60, and you’ll have to get a data plan which is extra. Maybe Kevin can get his hands on one of these babies with 4G?
My laptop battery is beginning to fail me. According to the warning message upon logging in, my battery no longer will hold a charge and it recommends me buying a new one. So i went onto the Dell website and theyre selling the batteries for $130-$150! Extreme ripoff indeed :/
